How to Use the Momentum Calculator
Enter the mass of the object in kilograms in the first input field and the velocity of the object in meters per second in the second input field. Click the “Calculate” button to obtain the momentum of the object. The result will be displayed in kilogram meters per second (kg·m/s).
How Momentum is Calculated
Momentum is a measure of the quantity of motion of a moving object and is calculated by multiplying the mass of the object (in kilograms) by its velocity (in meters per second). The formula used is p = m × v, where p is the momentum, m is the mass, and v is the velocity.
Limitations
This calculator assumes that the mass and velocity are constant and does not account for any external forces acting on the object. It is also limited to objects moving in a straight line where velocity can be described as a scalar quantity. The accuracy of the result is dependent on the accuracy of the input values.
